sorry for the packaging error

I just tried to flash through metamorph its saying that it doesn't have a certain file for ot to be flashed through metamorph

Yeah I tried it and I get the samething.

The theme control file exists in the .ZIP, but Metamorph isn't picking it up. Even if I place the .THM file and .ZIP in the AndroidThemes folder on my SD... NO WORKIE!

how to get this to work in metamorph:
1) After u download this file to ur SD, use a file manager such as EStrongs Filemanager.
2) Find the .zip file that you just previously downloaded, click and choose to unzip/extract it.
3) Find the new folder u just extracted to and open it.
4) U will c 2 folders. Delete the Mac one & copy the other to AndroidThemes (located in the root of SD card).
5) Open Metamorph, click Open Existing, find the folder again and then then .thm file.

well... I got this to work, but must say that the image quality is really poor. It looks sorta 8-Bit on my MT3G...
are there any other boot animations available for metamorph?

I can wipe, flash and fully restore my android in less than 5 minutes. . HAAH XD

WTF??
good thing i created a back-up before i applied this piece. . theres a hidden (no data) file that screws up the entire sytem. . wipes all critical files and everything is FC. . plus the image quality sucks !

CM6 RC2 - Change boot animation?

Hi all.
I posted this at Cyanogen's own forums, but it's much quieter over there than here at XDA, so hopefully someone here can help...
I'm trying to change the boot animation on a Nexus One running CyanogenMod 6 RC2.
I put the bootanimation.zip on my SD card and from Better Terminal Emulator pro ran the command(s):
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
I then rebooted and no change.
I then used Root Explorer and went and renamed /system/media/bootanimation.zip to zzbootanimation.zip.old in case it was using that one, still, no change after another reboot.
What could be wrong here?
Thanks.

Just back up the old bootanimation.zip and the replace it.

I tried. I've put the custom boot animation in both /system/media/ and /data/local. Checked permissions, but every time I just get the normal CM6 boot animation.

Make sure your bootanimation.zip does not have a capital B

It doesn't, but thanks for the suggestion.

You could probably extract the ZIP of CM6 to some directory and search for bootanimation.zip, see where is it located, and replace on the phone.

Good idea. I'll give that a go. Thanks.

Mmmm, well it's in /system/media, but I have already replaced that file, still no joy :-S
Can anyone confirm for me what the permissions on the zip file should be?
SOLVED! Total brain fart on my part. Thanks for the help chaps.

[Q] Bootanimation

Hi all, ive just upgrade my optimus 2x to V10b, the bootanimation now is not the original LG bootanimation but it is a starhub bootanimation, then ive changed the bootanimation at /system /media by replacing the bootanimation.zip with a new one, it is a success but the shut down animation still shows starhub animation, can anyone show me how to replace the starhub shut down animation??

check in /system/app/PowerOff.apk the shutdown animation should be there..

ok, how do i edit it??

besides that, can anyone upload the stock power_off.apk file and stock bootanimation.zip file??

Here is PowerOff.apk, dunno about the bootanimation

http://o2x.freeweb.hu/data/bootanimation.zip

hey, thanx so much for the post guyz, really really appreciated it,

I meant to post something in another thread. Still, thanks for the stock boot animation.

Hey everyone, sorry if this is a "hijack", i'll try to stay within the borders...
OK, just to start off these are my stats:
Android Version 2.3.7
Mod Version CyanogenMod-7-10132011-Nightly
Build GWK74
Baseband: 1035.21_20110720
My question is, i've seen mentioned to go look in the /system/media for the bootanimation.zip. When i peek in that directory i see a bootanimation.bak
I can't seem to find a .zip.
I'm still new at all this, so be gentle

.bak is just a backup file from something ...
use root explorer for example to display system directories correctly ...
if you still need cyanogen bootanimation.zip , here it is

There won't be any differences between the files displayed with root explorer... ES file explorer is really very good.
If you have a boot animation during start of the phone there must be a zip file somewhere..
I've read that an alternative place for the zip file was somewhere in data, data/local I think? This is to enable non root phone to be customized.. There's a thread about this in this section.

OK, so it's good to know i wasn't missing anything eith ES. Even tho, i still cannot seem to find a bootanimation.zip anywhere
So far i've looked in:
/system/media/ only had a bootanimation.bak
...i've tried all others mention, and nada.
But i do have a bootanimation.zip there somewhere... and have been able to change it using BAC LITE. Could it be that maybe Rom Toolbox (having the option to diable boot animations) placed it somewhere else?
But just as a catch up, when i boot (with the option all boot animation disabled in RT) i get the plain white LG logo, then switches to a fancier coloured LG logo (and then a skateboarding Android or simple "Android" if enabled in RT).
Again, thanks got the helps guys...

[Q]Boot animation

i edited a bootanimation based from here: http://www.semaphore.gr/downloads/boot-animations
the files are 138 images, which before it was 178(edited) but it doesn't work after moving the bootanimation zip folder to the system/media.
after the semaphore ics boot image, it just go black screen and the bootanimation didn't work. not even the android default boot didn't.
here's my file. i hope you could help me out for it to work. i think the desc.txt is the problem. the code contains it.
http://www.mediafire.com/?scoqsxo88vzph8z
thanks in advance.

Maybe a stupid suggestion but did you make sure it had the correct permissions and changed the name of the old bootanimation.zip (or took it out of the folder..)

You can mount system through recovery. It should be easy to find.
But to change bootanimation just delete the original .zip and place the new one there, set permissions and done.

Which ROM are you using? The location of the bootanimation will vary depending on whether its like stock, or sense, or added bootanimation by dsixda ROM kitchen (you get the idea here).

A file explorer app like solid explorer or es file explorer lets you mount /syste m

im using the es explorer but i can't see any system location.

I would actually recomment root explorer for this simply cuz it doesnt have so much eye candy and everything is easier to see.
But nevermind that,in order to go to the system files (not the SD card files) you have to go to settings and tick all the boxes under root settings (or something with a similar heading). Then take the bootanimation you want (copy it).
The bootanimation for the ROM is different depending on the ROM. On AOSP and AOKP ROMs its in the /system/media folder. Simply rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak just in case you want to change back. Paste your bootanimation and rename to bootanimation.zip. Then set the permission to rw-r-r.
I dont know where the bootanimation in Sense ROMs are though but the process is still the same.

Bootanimation locate in system/customize/resource
